Past Events

HPN partnered with AbundantLifeU and financial and investment coach Kelvin Dickerson for a personal, virtual conversation about personal finance and biblical stewardship in a time of coronavirus. This provided practical resources for our community of entertainment industry professionals.

During the time of social distancing and coronavirus, our community and events coordinator, Virginia Tucker, started hosting a weekly Monday Zoom prayer meeting, specifically for Hollywood entertainment professionals. Our first meeting was on May 4, and it was a fruitful, intimate time of prayer for the industry and for specific industry professionals. If you would like more info about future prayer meetings, please contact virginia@hpnemail.org.

On Thursday, April 16, founding director Karen Covell got a chance to encourage women virtually by joining the Influence Women Online Webinar. You can watch the full webinar, including Karen Covell’s speech and prayer, by clicking below:

Since March 20, HPN has hosted weekly prayer meetings on Zoom, for people to participate via phone or video chat. These one-hour meetings were a fruitful time of connecting during the coronavirus outbreak and social distancing. We lifted up topics such as the entertainment industry, health, and finances.

On Monday, March 3rd, Karen Covell started a new session of her 6-week J BOMB class in her home, based on the book of the same name by herself and husband Jim Covell. The class was attended by 18 industry professionals who also attend the Warner Brothers 9t5 bible study. They met for three weeks and then the coronavirus stay-at-home order stopped the in-person classes. Karen looks forward to starting up again with this very special group of Warner Brothers Christians once they can gather together in-person.

HPN hosted a handful of industry professionals for a morning of prayer and encouragement, as well as an inspiring talk by independent filmmaker Alexandra Boylan. These ladies walked away having made connections to others in the industry and feeling spiritually renewed.

HPN founding director Karen Covell spoke at Shawn Bolz’s conference on how to hear God’s voice in your sphere of influence and daily life. Karen spoke about how God gave her vision to start HPN and to love and serve industry professionals and build community in Hollywood.
